    Reader note

    Compared to mindless, artificial romance, this story focuses on the restrained and delicate emotions of adults, perfectly capturing the emotional state of urban working men and women. The female protagonist has devoted herself to love for years, silently accepting that the male protagonist harbors feelings for someone else. However, long-term one-sided devotion only depletes her passion. One evening during a team-building activity, as the sun sets, the male protagonist reaches out to hold her hand, but she immediately pulls away after a brief touch of their fingertips—a small detail that vividly portrays her heartbreak. The story doesn't have a quick happy ending. The male protagonist lowers his pride and repeatedly approaches, cautiously asking if they can get closer again. The female protagonist always maintains her distance, her only response being, "It depends on my time." The story focuses on the girl's growth as she overcomes her romantic obsession and rediscovers herself. The writing is atmospheric and engaging—highly recommended!
